Ted Cruz led Donald Trump by 10 points in Wisconsin's GOP presidential primary, while Bernie Sanders had a 5-point advantage over Hillary Clinton in a new Fox Business Network survey.

The poll found Cruz favored by 42 percent of likely GOP primary voters, while 32 backed Trump. John Kasich was third at 19 percent.

On the Dem side, Sanders was at 48 percent, while Clinton was favored by 43 percent of likely Dem primary voters.

The poll also included two questions on a hypothetical Clinton-Trump November match up. Forty-nine percent of the overall sample would back Clinton, while 35 percent would support Trump.

Sixty-four percent said they would be satisfied voting for either one, while 26 percent would seriously consider a third-party candidate and 7 percent would not cast a vote for president.

The telephone survey of 1,602 likely primary voters was conducted March 28-30 using live interviews over landlines and cell phones. Results for the full sample had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points. Results for the 860 likely Dem primary voters surveyed had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points, while the margin of error was plus or minus 3.5 percentage points for the 742 likely GOP primary voters polled.
